A man is dead after he was struck by a subway train at the 46th Street-Bliss Street station in the early hours Tuesday morning, MTA officials said.
The operator of a Manhattan-bound 7 train noticed the victim lying on the tracks as the train entered the station at 1:15 a.m. but was unable to stop in time.
The train struck and killed the man as he lay on the tracks, the MTA said.
Emergency Medical Services pronounced the man dead at the scene and services were suspended in both directions on the 7 line for over an hour during the course of a police investigation.
Police do not suspect criminality and were unable to provide any further information. The man’s identity has not been released.

Welcome to NYC ?
Great the the “greatest country in history” can’t afford platform doors like every third world country already has.
He would have still found a way to get over. And name one 3rd world country that has “platform doors.”
paris france
Paris, France is a third world country???
I think you mean Paris, TX.
Still not a third world COUNTRY!
What if platform doors prevented people (or workers) from getting OFF the tracks in an emergency? Could you imagine how gruesome that death would be?
What if train main door prevent people from getting OFF the tracks in an emergency? So we don’t need main door.
Hey also have far less track. New York built its system 100 years before it heh did.
I know I say this often, but I think this was a suicide.
Tell me again why don’t we still have cameras on stations?
And what good would that? Think before you post.
A hell of a lot of good.
Gabriel stop being a hater.
They should give free rides at 7 Train stations to make up for this.
